Revisiting carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus metabolisms in microalgae for wastewater treatment
Abstract
Threats posed to humans - including environmental pollution, water scarcity, food shortages, and resource crises drive a new concept to think about wastewater and its treatment. Wastewater is not only a waste but also a source of energy, renewable and/or non-renewable resources, including water itself. The nutrient in wastewater should not only be removed but also need to be upcycled. Microalgae based wastewater treatment has attracted considerable interests because algae have the potential to efficiently redirect nutrients from wastewater to the accumulated algal biomass. Additionally, microalgae are commercialized in human consumption and animal feed owing to their high content of essential amino and fatty acids, vitamins, and pigments. The whole process establishes a circular economy, totally relying on the ability of microalgae to uptake and store nutrients in wastewater, such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). It makes the study of the mechanisms underlying the uptake and storage of nutrients in microalgae of great interest. This review specifically aims to summarize C, N, and P metabolisms in microalgae for a better understanding of the microalgae-based wastewater treatment from the nutrient uptake pathway, and examine the key physiological factors or the operating conditions related to nutrient metabolisms that may affect the treatment efficiency. At last, I discuss the potential approaches to enhance the overall treatment performance by adjusting the critical parameters for C, N, and P metabolisms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
